Nat “King” Cole
For the Want of a Kiss
[Verse 1]
For the want of a kiss a heart was lost
For the want of a heart a love was lost
A love I wanted to return
A love I find to late to learn

[Verse 2]
For the want of a kiss a dream was lost
For the want of a dream a world was lost
A world that cried out to forgive
A world in which I couldn't live

[Bridge]
We stood there close together
Pride said our goodbye
But in our hearts our lips met
It showed right through our eyes

[Outro]
So the night fades away and brings the dawn
And I stand alone for my love has gone
A love too great to go amiss
Was lost for the want of just a kiss
